I am converting a PPT 2007 document that includes speaker's notes on some slides. I am unable to tag them in Acrobat in order for the Reader to "see" them. I, therefore, am failing the accessibility checker. The notes appear as comments either at the top left of the screen in a yellow "bubble" or underneath the page as comments you can see. Acrobat is not reading them aloud. How can I select the bubble to assign a tag to it? Is there another way to get Acrobat to read them to the disabled user?
Something to try.
With the powerpoint file open, ensure that the Adobe PDFMaker configuration has
selected:
--| Enable Accessibility & Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF
--| Convert Speaker Notes
When you convert the powerpoint file to PDF (using PDFMaker) you may see a dialog
which identifies that the powerpoint file's speaker notes will be converted to text
annotations in the PDF and that these annotations will be created on a separate layer which can be toggled on/off.
Open the PDF containing the convert powerpoint presentation.
Access the Tags panel.
View > Navigation Panels... > Tags
Access the Options drop down menu.
Select Tag Annotations.
Select Find.
In the Find Element dialog, for "Find:", select "Unmarked Annotations".
Use Find Next.
As an annotation is located, use Tag Element to tag the annotation as an
"Annotation" aka .Back out of the editing. Save. Test
